Owned by the Castéja family, Trottevieille has one parcel of some of the oldest vines in St.-Emilion. Dense purple, the 2005 is better at age 10 then earlier. The wine has beautiful blueberry, plum and blackcurrant fruit, an attractive underlying minerality, medium to full body, sweet tannin, and a long, layered, complex finish. Drink it over the next 15-20 years.
Aromas of licorice, lavender, violet and mineral follow through to a full body, with fine tannins and a coffee, berry and light toasty oak aftertaste. Balanced and refined. Best after 2011. 2,830 cases made.
